Wayne Mc- My Goals

One goal is to increase my personal knowledge of PLB. I need to do some reading and researching. 1. I need to visit bie.org and explore the site. I want to get my EETT teachers more familiar with PBL and also my Admins more familiar with PBL. 2. I am concerned the admins will balk at teachers spending my class periods on PBL activities. 3. I must make sure that any PBL's are tied to the SAS standards, essential questions, etc.

Wayne Mc- Challenges

I am sure that I share my challenges with many others. 1. Getting the network admin to open up the Web 2.0 sites and apps. 2. Getting teachers willing to take chances and cede to the students some of the control over the direction of the lesson, and letting them create content. 3. I am worried that as laptops age and need to be that my District does not a plan in place to upgrade and replace aging and broken equipment.

Wayne Mc- What Will the School Look Like?



If I am successful in my mission, a visitor to our school would see students engaged in many PLB activities. Activities that include all the elements of a good PLB. 1.is organized around an open-ended Driving Question or Challenge 2.creates a need to know essential content and skills 3.requires inquiry to learn and/or create something new 4.requires critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication 5.allows some degree of student voice and choice 6.incorporates feedback and revision 7.results in a publicly presented product or performance

I am very excited about PBL and am anxious to use it to transform our schools1
